The director touches up on other aspects of sports, but they are still nothing new. Like the step motherly attitude towards games other than cricket. There is the catch-22 situation, where the basketball team demands better infrastructure and the school management insists that they prove themselves with a win. The brief scene between the college principal (Y Gee Mahendran) and the team is laced with humour.The final match between Krishna’s team is rushed through. It lacks conviction and falls short of the thrill of an exciting finish. Vallinam has good moments, but is not a satisfying experience.
